Luka enjoys singing and being on stage because it is the only moment in his whole life where he has control, his guardian alien (Heperu) has control of every other aspect of his life, he's implied to be artificially made by his guardian and made only for alien stage (the perfect candidate for it), and because of that he has many diseases, those being asthma, chronic migraines, and congenital heart disease, and implied to also have cyanosis (the cause of his blue fingertips), he also is very physically weak and isn't expected to be living for much longer and because of that he went through many surgeries (you can see in his chest in round 7 the marks of some of them), his way of controlling the stage is that he obscures himself and puts an act of (someone's special) other and reminds people of those who've they lost Hyuna, the ruler of his heart, was the one who approached him first in Anakt Garden, she taught him a lot of things, told him her reason of enjoying singing (which he made it his) and introduced him to Hyunwoo (Hyuna's younger twin brother). Hyuna, Luka and Hyunwoo were friends back then in Anakt Garden, they were very comfortable with each other (Specially Hyuna and Luka, their bond was very strong) as seen in their collars that were green most of the time (green signifies good emotions, and red signifies strong emotions) Hyunwoo and Luka always got in fights (playfully) and Hyuna always step to stop Hyunwoo from harming Luka in their fights, Luka developed something for Hyuna, some kind of obssesion or something with her, he always said that her life is his, which in a way it is, because she's absent, she scrubbed herself of any of these sticky connections but he's taken the control she once described to him and made it his, become her enbodiment when every other aspect of his life is controlled by heperu. in the narrative, she exists for him & is simultaneously secluded from the audience, the thousand preying aliens, until he sees her in the stage and his easy facade falls.. There's a popular theory that Luka didn't kill Hyunwoo (at least directly), because from the alien stage art book it's implies that Hyunwoo was the strongest individual in Anakt Garden back then (second being his sister), and we know that Luka was the weakest physically, the theory says that Hyuna stopped a fight between them and she pushed Hyunwoo and accidentally killed him due to Hyunwoo's head falling in a rock. We don't know what exactly happened, or Hyuna's exact feelings towards Luka, but in the official artwork with them together Hyuna always let him be intimate with her (holding her waist, being close to her, massaging her) despite her awkward or angry expression towards him, in the official Art book, in her profile relationship regarding him she says that she should have never approached him first and she avoids saying anything else, in the art book it's also said that Hyuna was the first Human in alien stage to lose and survive, so it's implied that she lost against Luka in season 49 of Alien Stage (Most likely in the finale), I assume her leg is what she lost back then.
All of this information came from some of my thoughts and official art, comics, art book, Patreon content, and interviews to the characters and aliens, that the Alien Stage official accounts post on social media and paywall content by them.
Fun fact : Round 6 and Round 7 are only a few hours apart so Till didn't really have enough time to mentally prepare. As much as I love Till and wanted him to live he just wasn't ready for the finale. Especially against someone like Luka. He was still in the mindset of having lost everyone and when he finally saw Mizi it was too late. Luka knew how to break him cause he had no time to prepare for it all to come down like that. You fought well Till
It was hella rigged 😭 bro Luka hasn’t performed since Mizi. How are you expecting this man to perform at the same level. I’m so sad he got screwed over so bad. He just saw one of his family get murdered for him before his eyes a couple hours ago, even mizi had it easier
I've been waiting for the last round for many months, I think people who have been in the fandom for a long time are much more affected by watching round 7, I've been crying for 3 hours or so.
@@Maebyli recommend checking out the comics and the official arts on their twitter or youtube community tab (because i think some things got deleted from their twt but im not sure) you will understand why people are hyperfixated on these characters and cry over them like crazy
very tiny notice but im sooo glad you acknowledged that lukas actions are for the sake of the competition because its life or death !! hes obviously still a bad person but people act like he’s unjustified
I feel like the longer one has been in the Alnst fandom, the harder round 7 hits, I’ve been with them since Clematis and got so attached to the characters over the years, when Till died I literally just raged before crying my eyes out 😭
Dont you love how all women can see Ivan actions as sacrifice? You just entered the rabbit hole. There a 3 videos more you didnt watch, "Sweet dreams" that it's like a trailer sang by Sua, "MiziSua" and "Top 3" (those 2 had no lyrics but give a little of plot). There are comics and art that tell you more of the story (the more you know, the more it hurts)
I really only see it that way. Ivan looked so peaceful knowing he’d done enough to secure Till the round. Thank you so much! I’ll have to watch those that I missed and visit the comics + art. I’m locked in now🥹
@@Maebyl it wasn't really a sacrifice, he was doing it for himself. He knew that if Till died he wouldn't be able to live without him because Till was his universe. He knew that Till didn't think of him that way and he would be able to live without him. He never thought of being a sacrifice because he didn't even want to die. Ivan once said "Thank you for being the victim to my shallow emotions." He thought he was being selfish.
@@osiiallThus Ivan’s viewpoint being an unreliable narrator. Through his eyes we also believed that Till never looked his way and looked at him mostly disinterest/disdain. However, through the artbook we see his percentage in how significant Ivan is to him is 70%. All he says is that he doesn’t get Ivan and he is frustrated by how much he doesn’t know why Ivan act the way he does with him. We see him through a comic hurt by Ivan’s words that he doesn’t have friends because Till views him as such. Then Vivinos has confirmed that he has a love-hate relationship with Ivan that is so painfully human. Ivan never would have thought that he was capable of being Till’s trauma like Sua was for Mizi due their requited love for each other. Ivan never would’ve thought how similar he and Till are in their complicated relationship.
I’m glad you actually took your time to put yourself into the characters shoes, like just you understanding that Luka was also Someone fighting for his life and doing what he had to do was a nice touch. I love Lukas complexity. Since he’s won more than one contest it’s understandable that he’s desensitised to everything and indifferent, trying to find entertainment in what he’s doing since he’s 30 and still stuck in this place. But on the other hand I hate him for doing these actions too, like hurting Mizi, Hyuna and Till. Sorry for the rant :>
@@Maebyl also if you look at his body in round 7, he’s so malnourished you can see his rib cage. It’s very likely that he isn’t treated by any means bearably by the alien that owns him + his sickness. And apparently there’s some works from the author that say he loves to eat a lot but can’t eat that much because of his condition so him being starved like this must be unbearable. I’m GAGGED 😭😭😭. 30 years of that must suck + the whole alien stage thing. I’d go insane too icl. Ofc some of this is a hypothetical rant so apologies again 😭😭
great reaction! its always a good time seeing people get invested in alien stage and then be progressively more devastated with every round :D loved hearing your thoughts and rewatching the series with you to cope with round 7 lmao :")
Fun fact the reason why Ivan kissed Till it was because Till stopped singing which wouldve had result in a penalization for him which it wouldve been that the collar around his neck exploded or that he instatntly lost the round (the reason why till stopped singing was because he started to give up because he thought Mizi had die) thats why after Ivan kissed Till he started to choke him so the penalization was for him instead of Till (Till never looked directly at Ivan because he had a crush on Mizi, but at the end Till looked directly at Ivan and thats why he died smiling, because Till finally looked at him directly) also Ivan always gave Till freedom because he always wa the one to unchain him
I WAS SO SHOCKED YOU STARTED CRYING BECAUSE I WAS LAUGHING AT OTHER VTUBERS/STREAMERS REACTIONS AT ROUND 6 WHEN THEY KISSED, This one hitted different :((
The thing is, i'm SO suprised on how people understood that round 7 was rigged. but forget to put half of the blame on the aliens for not giving him time to process and rather all of it on luka.
@@yx1n.yokkaiI'm not sure, Till was in a depression state and the only will he had of living was because of Ivan's sacrifice, and even with the Luka act, Till lost for like a very few amount of votes, the difference was like a 5%, Luka only won because the stage was rigged and even Luka knows that, because in the moment Till gained hope after seeing Mizi and as he started to sing again, Luka for the first time showed genuine expression on stage (apart from the moment he saw Hyuna of course)
@osiiall True that, but that doesn't change the symbolism. He was standing in the puddle of Ivan's blood at the end of round 6 and the 'pattern' looks a bit too much like blood splatters. Might not be Ivan's actual blood, but it's a cruel bit of detail nonetheless. I really wouldn't put it past the aliens to make drama out of suffering.. Seeing as Hyuna is still injured and Mizi is in the exact same clothes as round 6, I'm pretty sure round 6 and the finals were back-to-back in the same day. Vivinos really gotta twist that knife, no?
actually it's confirmed in the official patreon that till loved ivan he had a deep love hate relationship with ivan, and no till DID not love mizi, he was in love with how free she was and since he wasn't grown in a lovable environment he craved loved and so he mistook his admiration illusion for love.
Based on a web-comic and a huge commentary on the Idol Industry, Korea in specific. There are covers made by the characters/artists of each songs I recommend you listen to. They are good.
@@MaebylQuick correction, Alien Stage isn't based on a webcomic but additional comic material is posted on social media to supplement the story by showing things that happened outside the stage (character interactions, etc.) in the past. The comics and songs are different material that go together to tell the story, so the MVs aren't actually adapting anything pre-existing.
I like to imagine Till beats the shit out of Ivan in the afterlife for the self sacrifice he pulled in the 6th round. Shame Till died after all that but it makes sense i guess.
Round 7 is way too rigged, Till didn't have enough time to prepare. Wouldve won if he got atleast a few days. (If you saw how close Till was to winning against Luka in the scoreboard thing), Hyuna was injured in round 6, and in round 7 she was still freshly injured. btw the xylophone represents Till's heartbeats. Till admires Mizi (the pink hair) Ivan loves Till (if that wasnt obvious enough) Mizi x Sua (black hair girl who died in r1) is canon!! Sua, Ivan and Till are alive canon !! They're just pretending....
